In their own words
Particle Web IDE
Particle Web IDE is a browser-based development environment for Particle device platforms. It supports C and C++, firmware debugging, and deployment to Particle devices running Particle Device OS. The supported boards exclude Tracker One and Tracker SoM, and the IDE does not include a device simulator. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and covers 100 devices and 100K Data Operations per month. Basic costs $299 a month per block and includes 100 devices and 720K Data Operations per month per block. Plus costs $599 a month per block, with 100 devices and 5M Data Operations per month per block. Professional and Enterprise use custom pricing: Professional lists premium support options, while Enterprise lists customized Data Operations packages. The available plans therefore specify different device and monthly Data Operations allowances, with custom-priced options for tailored packages or support. Particle Web IDE is web-only.
